Brief Background

Inclusive ICT access is crucial to upholding the fundamental right to communicate in today's interconnected world. It facilitates universal discourse irrespective of gender, age, ability, or location.

Web accessibility, a specific subset of ICT accessibility, focuses on enabling users with varying capabilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies and different operating systems, to reach, and navigate websites. Ensuring web accessibility complies with legal obligations and creates a more inclusive and equitable digital society.

Conversely, digital non-accessibility perpetuates reinforces negative stereotypes equating disability with incapacity and can hinder social inclusion, employment opportunities, and employee effectiveness. As such, organizations must prioritize accessible technologies.
